"There's
an appropriate time
to do things, a right
time for everything
on earth: A right time
for birth and another
for death, a right time
to plant and another
to reap, a right time
to kill and another
to heal, a right time
to destroy and another
to construct, a right
time to cry and another
to laugh, a right time
to lament and another
to cheer, a right time
to make love and another
to abstain, a right
time to embrace and
another to part, a right
time to search and another
to count your losses,
a right time to hold
on and another to let
go, a right time to
rip out and another
to mend, a right time
to shut up and another
to speak up, a right
time to love and another
to hate, a right time
to wage war and another
to make peace."
(Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
The Message)
HOW
MUCH TIME TO DO YOU
WANT?
I
listened with amusement
to a voice mail from
a vendor rep who wanted
to come in with his
boss and discuss business.
"If we could come
in tomorrow around 10,
we would need about
an hour of your time."
I
called back a couple
of days later and laughed
"I don't give my
kids an hour of my time,
you'll get 5 minutes
or less."
It
seems I always find
time for what I want
to do but make the excuse
of being too busy when
I am confronted with
an unpleasant task.
I take what I do way
too seriously as if
I'm the only important
person out there, that
what I do or have planned
should take precedence
over any and every other.
It's
funny how sickness or
some major crisis can
change your perspective
on life.
God
has set eternity in
our hearts and only
a relationship with
Him will allow you to
realize it.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
